I'm a graduate student in the Strategy and Organization Area of the PhD Program at the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University. My supervisor is Samer Faraj. I'm interested in the entanglement of knowledge and technology in the context of healthcare innovation. I study this entanglement in organizations primarily through qualitative field studies. I also explore this entanglement through computational social science research methods.

My doctoral dissertation research monograph is based on a qualitative comparative field study of OR scheduling and "AI" technology development at two hospitals. Preliminary findings point to how local knowledge arrangements shape the development of AI in healthcare, and highlight the challenges of articulating tacit knowledge in the context of developing emerging technologies. This project has won a dissertation award, a best paper award, and has produced two manuscripts, and numerous conference proceedings. This study was featured in a spotlight symposium on AI and Expertise at the 2024 Academy of Management annual meeting, and was a spotlight paper at the 2025 Symposium on Model Accountability, Sustainability and Healthcare organized by MILA Montreal.
This project is based on a qualitative field study of how a frontline hospital coordinated an organization-wide response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary findings reveal how coordinators enact the conditions for emergent, interdependent work during extended and evolving crises. An academic manuscript based on this study is currently under review at a top journal, and a practitioner/managerial variant, co-authored with hospital leadership, is being prepared for submission.
I'm interested how new ideas emerge, gain traction, and get taken-for-granted in research fields. I'm using data collected for this project to explore management research writ large since its roots in the 1930s, and to experiment with an ensemble of computationally entangled interpretive research methods that center the traditional qualitative research process. This project is associated with one manuscript in preparation.
I'm interested in the interplay of emerging technologies and organizational primitives like coordination, control, decision-making, and innovation. I write translational pieces that offer technical and theoretical vocabularies for management scholars. This project has produced a well-cited paper in Information and Organization, and a book chapter in the Oxford Handbook of Uncertainty Management in Work Organizations. A third essay is forthcoming in Strategic Organization! in the spring of 2026.
